You are the greatest trainer that I have listened to so far.

Each lecture you gave, connected, and very, very well. My attention was riveted to you and I hung on to every word you said. Your effectiveness comes from how you’ve organized your session talks, the order by which they were presented, and the precision in your choice of words and their connections to one another, that gave out very clear, comprehensibility of the ideas that had to be delivered and communicated.

The content of your lectures are packed with many thoughts and important messages that I know will help me learn, and to master my process.

I want to send my wife and son to your future programs, so that they too can benefit from your work. My wife is running a small business enterprise in the city, as an MWBE certified business owner, and my son, who is an accounting graduate helps her in Business Development and Finance. I told them about you and they're quite excited.

Thanks again Pete. Indeed, I am very fortunate to have been part of the recent group that attended your program.

Because of our work, I feel like I have successfully navigated a very challenging period in my career with a higher level of success than I ever could have imagined.

I have not talked into the office any day since being introduced to World-Class Strategist without a plan. I find myself asking each day, “What needs to be true wen I walk out of the office today for me to feel life I’ve had a successful day?”

Additionally, I have a “need” to read, develop myself, and learn each day. I’m reading more now than I ever have, and it’s become a habit that keeps me learning new ways to grow personally and professionally.

As for the most valuable part of the experience working with you, I’m not sure I can answer in any meaningfully quantitative fashion. Rather, I would describe the value from the perspective of “What if I hadn’t?”  What if I hadn’t met a friend for lunch who recommended I give you a call? What if I hadn’t called? What if I decided that it wasn’t worth the investment or that I didn’t need it? I learned more about myself, how to better myself, why I want what I want, and how to lay out a method of achieving this than I ever could have imagined. The last nine months has marked the most dramatic growth I have ever experienced.

I have a system that works now and an infrastructure to come back to if/when I get off track.   The process has allowed me to examine strong and weak areas in my life and gain clarity where I need to take action and improve action.  Generally, I feel like I am experiencing consistent and steady personal and business growth.  I have more clarity about where I am and a clearer picture of where I am going in my life.  Most importantly, I have a great sense of appreciation for my life’s path - challenges included, and more of a sense of purpose, fulfillment, and general happiness.

My life is richer in so many ways.

If I had to put a dollar value or return on investment for what I invested to hire you as a coach versus the benefit received, I would say it’s somewhere in the range of 10 to 30 times my investment over the next year. Over a decade, that number moves into the mid to high six-figure dollar return on investment.

- Mike Meily, Harvest Investment Consultants

I was feeling largely unfulfilled. The greater my success in business, the unhappier I would become. Success in business was also having an inverse effect on my relationships and health. I saw that it was an unsustainable cycle (one that was even affecting my ultimate success in business) and knew that I needed help from someone that took a holistic approach to life and growth.

What Pete proposed was comprehensive, process-based and a step-by-step blueprint for planning and taking action.

Simply put, this is the best version of me that I have ever experienced. And now, I have the tools to infinitely improve upon that. I am more present more fulfilled and more hopeful for the future than I have ever been.

Our first session was worth the investment alone!

To say that I’m grateful for Pete and his mentorship does not express fully how I feel, and the impact that our work is having and will have on my life. I have to say too, that I am excited for the opportunity to watch him progress and grow in the industry. I look forward to his first novel, and also the day that I can brag about getting in with Pete Kohlasch before he started charging 1 million dollars a year for personal coaching. (I’m not joking about that, and I also expect a discount when it happens.)

-Max Bobrycki

The reason I chose to work with Pete was because I wanted to take my professional performance to the next level.  For the past 10 years I had been a top performer in my profession but was feeling mentally burnt out, physically tired and personally unfulfilled. I knew that I needed better strategies around managing my time, energy and focus to reach my full potential, personally and professionally.

It’s been very easy, prior to working with Pete, to allow excuses to get in the way of doing what I know I need to be doing with scheduling and planning.

I feel like this process is becoming part of who I am. If I go to bed and I didn’t do it, I feel guilty. I actually want to do it every single day. It brings such clarity to the day and it also makes me question am I really focusing on the right things.

Pete’s combination of positive psychology and actionable strategies made an immeasurable impact on my life in less than 4 months of working together.  He helped me to gain CLARITY around what I truly want out of this life and has provided powerful strategies to identify, prioritize and act on the most important drivers of my desired outcomes.   I have a sense of CONTROL in my life that I’ve never had before.  Since working with Pete, I’ve seen a vast improvement in my personal health (mentally, physically and spiritually); developed deeper connections with my family, friends and colleagues; and have built tremendous momentum with my career and personal brand.  Working with Pete has been transformational, to say the least.

-John Salina

"Pete gave me the clarity and confidence to follow my dreams, to get in touch with and live my purpose, and to just plain GO FOR IT! He has an uncanny knack of asking the right (great questions) that elicit the right answers. I would not be where I am and have this much confidence if it wasn't for Pete Kohlasch. And the ability to offer this to my team has been incredible. One of the best investments I've made into my business....ever."

-Ed Nemec, NYL

"Pete’s impact has been invaluable. His program has provided a roadmap and empowered the team with the systems, strategy and mindset to continuously get better. I can confidently say I would not be the same if I didn’t work with Pete. He has instilled in me the desire to work at my best, which has me more focused and more productive. Our leadership team has built stronger relationships because of his work and it has made a huge difference to the culture of our office. The relationships between agents and management has also improved. He leaves a lasting impression every time he is in our office."

  -Dominique Duong, NYL

"Pete’s work has brought about a paradigm shift with many of our agents. Many agents now talk about their morning routines, and what they are doing to plan and strategize better within their businesses. For me, the most valuable part of working with Pete was the training, discussion and work behind becoming—as he calls it—a “World-Class Strategist.” I’m clearer on my priorities, more focused on how I’m managing my time and structuring my schedule, and have seen an impact on my overall efficiency and execution. Pete cares about people, he’s passionate about helping people achieve their highest level of performance, and he is someone you can trust."

-Al Johnson, NYL

"Pete’s high energy, enthusiasm and passion for helping people is inspiring. He has helped guide our team and changed the way we approach our tasks and relationships. We are more focused and united. He provides all of the tools necessary for developing clarity of vision and then serves as a guide, helping you create a roadmap to achieving your goals.  Pete is extremely knowledgeable, and professional. He genuinely cares about the people he serves and their personal success. 

If you fully commit to his strategies and principles you will undoubtedly see positive changes and success!"

-Ariel Rodriguez, NYL

"There is no way to fully describe how valuable working with Pete has been to me. In the most concise manner, Pete Kohlasch shared words that literally changed my entire life! If you've ever wondered what it would be like to learn practical life changing systems that will help you become a better version of yourself, then you need to meet with Pete! I enjoyed his expertise, his realness, and his straightforward approach to helping me grow. His questions are thought provoking and his systems lead to real change, not just something you go through and remain the same. Through working with Pete, it demonstrates that management cares about the whole person, and caring about who I am makes me want to do better and be a better team member for the NYL family!"

  -Catherine Turner, NYL

"The most valuable aspect of working with Pete is the tools and the systems that he provides to help you achieve your goals. He helped me to recognize with great clarity the areas in my life that I wish to take to the next level, and then he showed me how to build the blueprint to get there. As a result of working with Pete, I have a much stronger and more positive mindset and an achievable and sustainable process to achieve results. While most will simply tell you to “dream big” Pete helps you get on the right track and provides the necessary tools to stay on it. He is incredibly passionate about his work. He makes you feel like you have a new best friend cheering you on, listening to you, and keeping you accountable to your best effort. If you're serious about hitting your next level, personally and professionally, you owe it yourself and loved ones to experience Pete however you can!"

  -Manuel Carrero, NYL

"The most valuable part of working with Pete was the real energy and drive to succeed he sparked in me and everyone he worked with on my team. I had a very important personal goal to meet in the last quarter of last year, and being in Pete’s programs helped me meet and exceed my goal and the company's expectations. In a broader sense, working with Pete has helped me stay focused on setting and achieving goals in my life. Pete truly cares about the performance and achievements of each person he works with, in both the professional and personal areas of their lives. Pete’s knowledge about personal achievement, emotional commitment to myself and others on the team, and experience working with high performance individuals has helped me make important changes in my life. Our office, our managers, and our trainers do a lot to create a team feeling and to help agents grow. The thing is, Pete’s incredible focus, energy, and joy in helping people take those efforts to a new level."

  -Edward Hodgman, NYL

"Pete loves what he does and exudes so much passion it is infectious. Working with Pete provided me with a sense of direction in pursuing my personal and professional goals with greater intention, in a productive and easy-to-follow process. This is critical as a highly driven, working mother of a 2 and 4 year old!  

I began working with him at a time when I needed something to change to move beyond my comfortable, yet stagnant production levels. I was doing well, but felt I could do so much better with the right systems in place. The week before our first session, my mother passed away. We were very close and she was the reason why I was in this business. Because his sessions included a focus on personal as well as business goals, I was able channel my emotions, in all of the most important aspects of my life to keep going. I dedicated the rest of the year in honor of my mother. At the end of the year, I attained levels that I had never reached before, most notably, I was among the top 10 agents in the office. "

  -Melanie Terry, NYL

Every aspect of your life will improve after meeting with Pete Kohlasch. My life has changed 100% for the positive since we met. Pete will inspire you to be a better you in all areas of life.

I wanted more balance in my life when we worked together. The guidance I received was invaluable to me as a husband, father, son, friend, businessman, etc. If you have any desire to explore the possibility of your life being better, reach out to Pete!

  -Daniel Miller, Prudential

As I look back on the past year I am overcome by joy, feelings of accomplishment and accelerated personal growth. What a year! My experience with Pete opened my eyes, my mind, and my vision on who I am, who I want to be, where I want to go and how to get there. He showed me how to dream again.

For the first time in a long time someone has believed in me and in return I have a renewed belief in myself. I am reading books in timeframes I never thought I would and being left with a yearning for more; more ways to improve, to do better, to be better with the only regret that I did not do this sooner in life. What an experience, what a God send awakening this was for me.

Thank you again Pete for your persistence and encouragement!

  -Deborah Bakalich, Self-Employed

A great experience working with Pete! I am putting processes in place, and learning new things everyday about myself and the power of positivity and accountability that never really “clicked” before.

Prior to working with Pete I felt scattered, like I was simply existing and going through the motions.

Since working with Pete, I’ve noticed a huge shift in my mindset – I’m much more positive. I feel less stressed. I feel like I have a plan and I’m in control. Most of my stress had been work related. Now, because I have a process, I have a lot more confidence. I’m getting away from feeling overwhelmed, breaking things down into a process and working into it.

I’m eating better. I’m starting to stretch more. I don’t let my bad days carry over anymore.

Pete has given me a reason to set goals and has put me more in control of my goals. His delivery is a well-rounded approach to taking care of all aspects of life.

It has provided me with a definite plan about what I’m going to do next.

I love his energy level, and realism that change will not happen overnight. A complete shift since working with Pete!

  -Chris Springer, NYL

Pete says whom you associate with has as large an impact as anything in your life. I can tell Pete it goes both ways. I am living it; I see it in action, as he touches not just my life, but also so many others. I have been on this earth two decades longer than Pete, old enough to be his older brother, heck, in an imperfect world, old enough to be his father. And I can share with you from deep within me that this young man is the most genuine, dedicated, hard-working, focused, energetic soul I have had the pleasure to meet along my way. His soul has one purpose, to help you figure out who you are and the work you are supposed to do that's going to leave your unique mark on this world. Pete's passion and purpose for what he is doing for other people is heartfelt and real. He is truly a star, but a star shines brightest when surrounded by others. Pete’s mission is to be that star, the bright light to lead you and help you create the life you deserve.

  -Mark Brodinksy, USHEALTH

I came into Pete's program already well-read, attending at least 3 educational conferences each year, and with an understanding of what I needed to do moving forward, but a lot of ideas and actions I learned slipped through the cracks over the years. Pete's PAB (Personal Accelerator Blueprint) program provided me with detailed ways to ensure that my action steps are finally achieved. The lightbulb went off when I started to see that for the first time in my career, I was finally doing something with the ideas I was learning in an organized way so that nothing was left behind this time. In the past, I would attend conferences, come home with so many great ideas, and then only move forward with a few of them. The PAB program helped me to keep track of everything.

  -Lynne Zink, Self-Employed

I was never aware of how much one contact could change my life, until I met Pete. I first reached out to Pete simply because I loved his positive messages through social media. Little did I know that first message I sent to a total stranger would lead to me becoming the very best version of myself. Through Pete's superior coaching and complete dedication to his clients, I was able to transform into a super achiever. The Personal Accelerator Blueprint class that I experienced with him taught me invaluable life strategies, but really exposed a lot of my hidden strengths that I wasn't aware of or harnessing properly and gave me such clarity for a successful future. I couldn't recommend this guy any higher, he has a burning passion for what he does and it truly shows.

  -Daniel Sloan, Guggenheim Partners

Pete Kohlasch came into my life just prior to me making massive changes in many areas. He challenged me to examine how I was living and if I was doing so in accordance with my values and dreams. I was doing all this "stuff" and filling my day, and I would have probably been doing that moderately successfully for the rest of my life. Now I’m laser-focused on achieving what I want in all areas of my life, not just my career. He’s like the secret decoder ring of joy — that coveted ring that we all want in order to find greater happiness in our lives. Through Pete’s questioning and careful listening, he uncovered areas where I’d been holding myself back. He provided me with both a safety net and an umbrella while encouraging me to step out into my life in a bigger way. I felt like I could push myself because I had someone simultaneously nudging and inspiring me. It helped that I knew I had a safe place to land. His enthusiasm is contagious and his passion is infectious. Working with Pete will be a decision you’ll never regret.

  -Deborah Kevin, Self-Employed

I have been studying personal development, leadership, and achievement for the past 15 years of my life. Anything Pete Kohlasch develops and creates is a must take. I would highly recommend all of his programs and his group and individual coaching. Pete speaks about the combo between achievement AND fulfillment where most coaches speak of one or the other. He really helps his clients with their personal journey of developing greater clarity and focus on their goals while finding their passion and purpose. He is a master at developing strategy and a personal blueprint to make it real while strengthening mindset and feeling a greater sense of enthusiasm and energy. He is relentless in his own personal growth, one of the most passionate people I have met, and wants the same for all of his clients. If you are looking to find your passion and are committed to getting high level results, look no further. Pete is the real deal!

  -Jeremy Walsh, Coldwell Banker

“Whether it’s more progress, success, money, health, clarity, strategy, productivity, personal growth, better relationships, happiness, etc…Pete is your guide. When you’re done working with him, you’ll walk away changed on the inside, ready to take on anything on the outside. You’ll be mentally prepared for the journey ahead, armed with the tools you’ll need along the way and a personal map that shows you how to get there. This is the most concrete, specific and intentional I’ve ever felt about the direction of my life!”

  -Tony Hill, Self-Employed

“Words do not truly express how working with Pete has helped transform my life for the better. It provided guidance, encouragement, a plan and has helped me to be happier than I’ve been in a very long time. It has showed me how to do much more with the time I have. I am way more productive and feel much better about my accomplishments.”

  -Mike Shelah, Ricoh

“I’ve never been a morning person but am now waking up with a sense of purpose and intention. I’m not dreading it at all and it feels great! I have felt and been more productive in all aspects. Hard to believe how different I feel in such a short period of time. I’ve gotten more out of three sessions working with Pete than a year working with my business coach.”

  -Mark Simone, Keller Williams

“I can’t think of anyone who would not benefit from Pete’s work. By using what he has to show and teach you, you just become a better human being. I’m more conscious of what I need to do and how I want to go about doing that and I’m more open to possibilities of my life being better.”

  -Steven Broussard, Self-Employed

"Whether the success you seek is big or small, personal or professional, Pete will help you achieve it and be the first person you want to tell after. He will also be the first one to tell you he knew you could do it all along. Anything is possible when you work with Pete. I truly believe that - no bullshit or fluff."

-Michelle Meyer, Agilent Technologies

Working with Pete allowed me to transform my focus to being much more present and optimistic.  It has allowed me to reset my mindset and find peace during turmoil.  Our work together has also made me realize that I have the power to control my mood/outlook and be more mindful of my reactions to the events in my life.  This was a turning point for me. Since our work, I have lived with greater purpose and intention for what I want out of life.

Professionally, I have been more dominant in my space and have seen separation from my peers. I have learned to have confidence in my ability to leap for what I want, and after consideration, to take risks that lead to greater happiness and abundance for my family and I.  Since working with Pete, I have left the comfort zone of 18 years at PNC and a great national leadership role to a role at JP Morgan to build the franchise in Baltimore. My career has exploded having been promoted 3 times at PNC and now the new role at JP Morgan, my salary has grown 2.5X since working with Pete.

My career and personal life have thrived. I am happier than I have been in many years and love my life every day and look forward to my future. 

- Scott Canuel, J.P. Morgan

“Your teachings will have a ripple effect more than you know or realize. I remember Scott said that meeting you was the single thing that most changed his life and I totally understand that now! Working with you has been a life-altering experience. It helps you to go from a caterpillar to a butterfly.”

Thank you Pete! My involvement with WC is often one of the things i write about in my gratitude journal.  This opportunity has been invaluable to my life. Grateful to still be a part of the team and to continue working with you.

  -Fred Johnson, PNC
